Summary

[edit]
Description

These sculptures adorned ancient Mapuche tombs, and were intended to serve as spirit guides in the afterlife.

I'll now quote directly from the plaque accompanying these sculptures, 'cause you won't believe the last part if I don't:

'Chiefs and great warriors were sent to the East after death, to roam among the volcanoes of Kalfumapu, the “blue land.” All others went to the West, to eat bitter potatoes beyond the sea.'
